    AR Accuracy: What to Expect and How to Acheive it?

    I have read this thread with great interest as I shoot my piston guns and quality bolt guns an equal amount of time. I would consider my skills intermediate. I have been shooting the bolt guns without a lot of pressure and can easily achieve sub MOA, while to get anywhere near the accuracy with...

    Accurate Powder?

    I just bought some Alliant Power Pro 2000 to work up some loads for my 308 during the pandemic. I bought it because it appears to safely increase velocity 100fps over almost all other powders. I got the recipe's for free on the federal website and I will be loading their 175 Edge TLR bullet...

    Powder Temperature Sensitivity

    Thanks - it was Alliant Tech support that told me the 1-2 and as that is a 100% difference I tried to ask if it was one or two and he would not commit. I am going to load 175 g Federal Edge TLR in my 308 piston gun with a 20 in barrel - It is a fast barrel that only loses 22fps on Factory 178...

    Powder Temperature Sensitivity

    After finding out today that Alliant Power Pro 2000 has a 1 to 2 fps variance per degree F, I asked the Alliant guys which of their other products (almost all of them) were temperature sensitive and found out some of my favorite loads will have this problem (especially for my 6.5-06 which uses...

    Alliant Power Pro 2000 in 308 AR Piston - Free Lunch?

    I just spoke with Alliant and they said that the 2000 MR is not one of their temperature stable powders like RL 16, 23 and 26 and I can expect 1 - 2 FPS Variance at temperature extremes. I will report back my experiment once I load with the TLR Edge

    Alliant Power Pro 2000 in 308 AR Piston - Free Lunch?

    Yes of course - I am nearing 60 and while not slobbering yet the memory/mental acuity is not what is used to be - although ask me anything about the 70's - I do not particularly care for their sst bullets.

    Alliant Power Pro 2000 in 308 AR Piston - Free Lunch?

    I was thinking of using my POF P308 for the next ELK hunt - but consider the velocity marginal at best for the long 250 - 350 yd shots that might be required. I am getting 2578 with the 20 in barrel with factory Hornady ELD-X 178 which surprised me as it is only 22fps slower than the factory...

    Best AR Platform value?

    Interested in hearing about the latest generations of AR platforms where value, accuracy, weight, reliability and the company behind the product are criteria. It seems like the KA, H&K and FN carry a considerable premium for being a military platform. I imagine testing, reliability and...

    LMT 308.... is it the best 308?

    Moved to Main Forum seeking opinions I have 3 POF's a 6.5 CM , 308, and 6.8 SPC and also a LWRCI REPR II 6.5, my son has an M6a2- all of them shoot sub moa with match ammo, hardly ever or never fail to fire, are clean running and shoot with my Thunderbeast can no problem (except the M6a2) -...

    Bighorn Origin Bolt Handle Angle

    Thanks - that explains a lot - my first 20 years with rifles were with wood stock hunting rifles - also with my pistols I use the tip of my finger. A picture would be very nice of you.

    Bighorn Origin Bolt Handle Angle

    Thanks for the responses - The Bighorn pictures - clearly show the difference, so my miss, although I did not for-see this issue, and have never had a Remington 700 to see what mimicking their bolt angle meant. Here is what threw me off from the FAQ's on their website "What are the...

    Bighorn Origin Build Thread

    I also posted this in main Bolt Action before I saw this thread I just got my second Bighorn / KRG Bravo rifle built - The first has a 6.5 CM Steel and 300 WSM Proof Carbon barrel with a TL3. The second is a Origin / KRG Bravo with a 6.5 PRC Proof CF barrel - Both are extremely accurate and...

    POF Barrel Accuracy?

    I would welcome any comments on the barrels used by POF and where I can get a cut-rifled or other precision barrel for my POF's. I have contacted Rock Creek and also Proof and they do not have anything to offer. POF also just sells their current production - although they are always very...

    POF and my Incredibly Disappointing Experience......

    Glad things worked out in the end - too bad you had to endure all the aggravation. Although it must have been satisfying that the CC company backed you - I also sometimes dig in on principle. It surprises me that CFL behaved in that manor - I always deal with Jason and find him to be extremely...

    POF and my Incredibly Disappointing Experience......

    No - I am going to keep it - I was happy with it until my son wanted to take the 308 on our annual Elk hunt and I really wanted the extra velocity as I consider the 308 marginal at the long shots we have to take in the mountains. Someday it will go back to the 16.5 for deer and hogs as it is...
